Wild Things Farm Kindergarten Field Trip

I got to go on a field trip with all the kindergarten classes at East Pointe Elementary. It was a lot of fun! Courtney just jumped right in and they were sweet to let her participate! We went to Wild Things Farm in Pocola, OK. This man was our guide and he looked wayyy country. He was really funny and really good at keeping their attention and keeping them in line!


They raced the pigs!
(each class has a color shirt and their teacher/room # on the back)

Then got to see a real pig, but Whit wouldn't get any closer than this!

They got to feed the goats, but Lindsey wouldn't get any closer than this! Courtney fed them several times and loved every minuet of it!
Here is the goat bridge (at least that's all I know to call it) where they can put food in these little cups and then turn the handle and it goes up to the goats. Pretty funny!

Lindsey wouldn't hold the goat, but Courtney was all about it!
Then they had a duck race....

Milking the cow (as one kid pointed out "that's not a real cow")

Then we went on a hayride and got to pet some horses. Courtney was at the front with Ms. Morgan, just making herself at home I'm certain!
One of the best parts was getting to pick strawberries! Lindsey was off doing her own thing (which is how most of the field trip was, to my surprise actually) so I don't have a picture of her. But, even Whitney thought this was really cool because she loves "berries" and was wanting to eat them all!!


Here is Lindsey with her friend Ashlyn. Sweet girls who go to school together and church!

Then they served everyone homemade strawberry ice cream!
Oh my goodness! It was very yummy!

Even Whitney got to have some and she loved it...of course!
This was a day that I loved getting to be a stay at home! This is the reason I want to do it. I want to be involved with my girls at their schools and do what I can to help the teachers! It was an awesome time!

TBall, finally after all the rain!

I love this pic for some reason!

And this one...


She seems to love playing ball. She does a great job paying attention and it is so fun to watch!

After a long trip back from Memphis Ryan barely made it, but he was able to coach some. I love watching him with the kids. He's so good.


Lindsey is doing better and better at first base!

The Quick Stiks are undefeated so far (4-0) but it isn't all about winning. I'm glad that so far it has just been fun. These kids have a great time and are learning a lot!

Pinkalicious!

Last week Lindsey had book character day at school. I tried to think of something easy and having 3 girls we have tons of pink and dress up clothes...so, this came to mind! It worked perfectly! She went for it. We got a new crown and were good to go!

Have I mentioned on here that this girl loves shoes...these were out and so she had to try them on! OF course she looked so cute I snapped a pic!

The Cowgur Crew

The girls were going up to spend the weekend with Ryan's mom, so Friday we went up to visit and play for a little bit with the Cowgur crew! Martha and I talk everyday, multiple times a day.

Even though our kids don't see each other often, I'm so thankful they have a good time and look forward to playing together. I know my girls ask for these kiddos to come over all the time and so many times I wish that was possible. But at least they have fun together when we can play!

Lindsey and Cole--they used to have trouble playing together.
But now they have lots of fun and do really well most all the time!
Here are the "babies" of our families. Will and Whitney. Looking out the door, hoping to go out!

Here is a sweet (and blurry) picture of Will! I feel like I don't even know him. He just turned one, so I've only seen him a handful of times. But, he's a cutie and fits right in with the rest of them! Hopefully he and Whitney will be pals and will learn to play together too!

I somehow didn't get a picture of Caroline and Courtney. Probably because they are always out playing. They, like I've said before if you read my blog often, are hilarious together! They play so good. It is like they are BFFs that never see each other! They can always seem to find something to entertain themselves!
